Health care questions on hold Answers may not come until election day

Celeste Holm dies at age 95 Celeste Holm, a versatile, bright-eyed blonde who soared to Broadway fame in “Oklahoma!” and won an Oscar in “Gentleman’s Agreement” but whose last years were filled with financial difficulty and estrangement from her sons, died Sunday, a relative said. She was 95. Holm had been hospitalized about two weeks ago with dehydration. She asked her husband on Friday to bring her home and spent her final days with her husband, Frank Basile, and other relatives and close friends by her side, said Amy Phillips, a great-niece of Holm’s.

Daughter guilty of moving violations I am expecting a letter from President Obama any day now. No, he won’t be soliciting my vote because I live in Miami County and he wrote us off a long time ago. An no, he won’t be asking for money because I’m sure if he wants to he can find out what’s in my bank account and that would hardly be worth the effort. I am expecting that he will be sending me an executive order that prohibits my daughter from ever moving again. The reason will be national security.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — Millions of uninsured people may have to wait until after Election Day to find out if and how they can get coverage through President Barack Obama’s health care law. More than two weeks after the Supreme Court gave the green

light to Obama’s signature legislative achievement, many governors from both parties said they haven’t decided how their states will proceed on two parts under their control: an expansion of Medicaid, expected to extend coverage to roughly 15 million low-

income people, and new insurance exchanges, projected to help an additional 15 million or so purchase private insurance. In some states, such as Oklahoma and Colorado, Wyoming, governors said they’re crunching the numbers to deter-

mine what’s best for their residents. But in other states, including Virginia, Nebraska and Wisconsin, Republican governors said not to expect a decision before Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney square off in November. If Romney wins, the argument

Egypt takes tough line Clinton’s calls fall flat in political fight CAIRO (AP) The head of Egypt’s military took a tough line Sunday on the Brotherhood, Muslim warning that he won’t let the fundamentalist group dominate the country, only hours after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged him to work with Egypt’s elected Islamist leaders.

academically as well as financially,” Jones said. “Everybody kept saying when I got here that I had ‘big shoes’ to fill.” Speaking of big shoes, Jones drew inspiration from the basketball world — namely a recent interview with NBA title winner LeBron James and Oprah Winfrey. Jones said he identified with James as he was being asked what was different from the year before when the Miami Heat lost in the finals, whereas this year, James went and won the title by simply being the best player he could be. “And that’s what I try to do every day — be the best Craig Jones I can be,” he said. It’s that grounded attitude which has garnered the treasurer’s office multiple accounting awards for the school district. “It’s challenging and each year there is a different challenge,” Jones said. “You just try to find a way to make the numbers balance and find the resources they need.”

Bob McDonnell, R-Va., said on the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting. Although the high court upheld the requirement that individuals either have insurance or pay a fine, the justices undercut Obama’s plan to get almost all Americans insured, ruling that states can opt out of the expansion of Medicaid, the governmentrun insurance plan. People earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level qualify for Medicaid under the health care law, except in states that reject the expansion. The Obama administration said last week that people won’t be fined for not having insurance in states that turn down the expansion, meaning Obama’s hard-fought overhaul could fall far short of the 30 million or more uninsured he had hoped would get coverage. Also left to the governors is what to do about the exchanges Internet-based markets designed to offer one-stop shopping for insurance that are also part of law. States are supposed to set up their own exchanges, but if they don’t, the federal government will run them instead. About a half-dozen states have announced plans to forgo the Medicaid expansion and relinquish the massive infusion of federal dollars that would come along with it. All have Republican governors, many of whom argued

I don’t think I can look the taxpayers of Virginia in the eye and say I’m going to spend a lot of your money building exchanges that four months from now I may not need. — Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell

”

Medicaid is an underfunded entitlement already weighing down their cashstrapped budgets. Others faulted the Obama administration for failing to provide the specifics that states need to make an informed decision. That sentiment was echoed in a list of 30 questions about the law that the Republican Governors Association sent Obama last week. The law picks up the entire cost of covering more people for the first three years, and then drops to 90 percent, with states covering the remaining 10 percent. It’s a great deal, proponents argue, especially compared to the current Medicaid rates, wherein Washington pays as little as half of the cost in some states. But a handful of GOP governors attending the NGA meeting said they suspected a bait-andswitch in which states would agree to the expansion only to see Congress cut some or all of the funds, leaving governors on the hook and potentially bankrupting state budgets. “At any whim they could just pull the money,” Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer told The Associated Press. “So yeah, I’m a little gunshy.” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who survived a recall election in June, said in an interview that governors were grumbling among themselves about

the federal government’s track record on special education. Congress in 1975 pledged to fund 40 percent of the cost of special education, but routinely has fallen far short of that commitment. The politics are tricky for governors weighing how to proceed. Just one-third of Americans supported the health care overhaul in Associated Press-GfK poll conducted in mid-June. But because federal tax dollars are covering the Medicaid expansion, states that opt out are essentially consigning their residents to subsidize coverage for those in other states. Also, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Utah and other states that are still weighing their options were among those that sued the federal government in an attempt to have the law overturned. If they were so opposed then, the law’s supporters ask, why are they leaving the door open to implementing it now? Both the Medicaid expansion and the exchanges don’t kick in until 2014, meaning states technically have some breathing room before they need to make a final decision. But governors who’ve agreed to take the expansion accused their more taciturn colleagues of playing election-year politics at the expense of taxpayers. “It’s not only irresponsible, it’s disingenuous,” Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said at a news conference organized by Democratic governors. “To say ‘I’m going to criticize the plan, but I won’t tell you whether I’m taking the loot until after the election,’ that’s what breeds cynicism in the American people.” Shumlin didn’t back down even when reminded that some Democrats too are taking the wait-and-see approach, including Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. “I believe my comments should apply to every governor in the nation, on a bipartisan basis,” Shumlin said.

community as a whole, including his recent graduation from the Leadership Troy program. “I learned a lot about Troy from all the different components,” Jones said. “There’s a lot of history here, some people have lived here their whole lives and didn’t know a few things so I definitely learned a lot.” Jones also is a member of the Troy Rotary and has enjoyed being part of its leadership program as well. “It’s a really great organization that helps out people in need,” Jones said. Jones said his off time, when he’s not in front of the calculator, is spent with his wife LaFondra and his daughters Jamila and Maya — both sophomore students at the University of Cincinnati. “I’m a family guy and our daughters keep us busy,” Jones said. Jones said he doesn’t spend as much time on the basketball court but enjoys working out and listening to jazz with his wife. For more information about Troy City Schools, visit www.troy.k12.oh.us.

Health Care leader can impose their will, their ideology, their religion, their desires on anyone else.” Still, Clinton does want the military to work with Morsi and his Islamist allies on a full transition to civilian rule. But with the U.S. having already approved another massive delivery of military aid, it was unclear what leverage Washington has as it seeks to stabilize Egypt and build a new relationship with America’s once ironclad Arab ally. This weekend, she tried to stake out a middle ground. Meeting with Morsi on Saturday for the first time, she called for consensus. Without taking a position on the specific disputes, she urged Tantawi to return the armed forces to a “purely national security role,” as she termed it. But her criticism of the military was muted. She commended it defending lives during the Jan. 25-Feb. 11, 2011 revolution against Mubarak and for the progress Egypt made under its interim leadership, which included free and fair elections. Still, after talks with Clinton on Sunday, Tantawi made clear the military will not allow the Brotherhood to hold sway, though he didn’t specify the group by name. “Egypt will never fall. It belongs to all Egyptians and not to a certain group the armed forces will not allow it,” he warned in comments to reporters after a handover ceremony for the transfer of command of the armed forces’ 2nd Field Army in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia. “The armed forces will not allow anyone, especially those pushed from outside, to distract it from its role as the protector of Egypt,” he said. “The army will never commit treason and will continue to perform its duties until Egypt reaches the shores of safety.”

MILITARY BRIEF Ryan M. Maloy Edward S. Keeslon Gage C. Baerlin

Midway is regarded as the turning point in the war of the Pacific. Alongside three other carriers, the USS Enterprise and the U.S. Strike Forces defeated the Imperial Japanese navy carrier task force under the direction of commander in chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Adm. Yamamoto. USS Enterprise and its wing were credited with sinking three of the four Japanese carriers that day at Midway. At the opening of the ceremony, Rear Adm. Ted Carter, commander, Enterprise Carrier Strike Group, described the heroic roles of the sailors and marines who fought and died during the historic battle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were not without losses of our own, however, â&#x20AC;? said Carter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although Enterprise was not attacked during the battle, her air wing suffered the heaviest losses of any air wing at sea up to that point.â&#x20AC;? Hamilton, Commander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, Capt. Jeffery L. Trent and Capt. Joseph J. Leonard, commodore, Destroyer Squadron 2, also spoke about the roles USS Enterprise, the air wing and the destroyer strike

group played during the battle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing this is our legacy, it is an absolute honor and privilege to remember the heroes of the Battle of Midway aboard our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most historic and legendary aircraft carrier, a great warship with a longstanding bond with Destroyer Squadron Two, â&#x20AC;? said Leonard. The partnership between Enterprise and Destroyer Squadron 2 began at Midway 70 years ago and continues today. As part of the commemoration, Enterpriseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Class Petty Officers by performed a wreath-laying ceremony on the fantail aboard the ship. The fallen sailors and marines were also honored with a 21-gun salute and the sounding of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taps.â&#x20AC;?

Clean Sweep 2012 Since keeping track of such things, the Clean Sweep of the Great Miami River has taken out more than 4,500 tires and nearly 330 tons of trash with the help of nearly 4,500 volunteers. Some of the strange items found include hot tubs, carpeting, shopping carts, play sets, beds, ovens, canoes, motorcycles, bowling balls, safes, television sets, puppets, and even a very valuable Native American relic. Some of the items did get their on their own due to getting caught up in high water that came after big storms. But other items, unfortunately, got there because someone dumped the items there. It may be hard to understand why someone would do such a thing, expecially when there are places where a person can take their refuse and trash. Instead they choose to litter and make things around them subject to the pollution. Depending on what the litter is, it could pollute the water, hurting the animals and fish that live near or in the water or damage the riverbed or streambank making erosion even worse. Whatever the case, it always upsets the beauty of the river and makes things more unpleasant for all of us. ALWAYS THINK SAFETY When you’re in a boat, canoe or kayak: • Always wear a PFD (personal flotation device) also known as a life jacket • Tell someone where you’re going • Wear clothing that isn’t binding and dries quickly • Wear sunscreen and a hat is recommended • Watch for strainers or debris that has been caught up in a shallow or narrow areas of the river

For more tips on safety go to http://ohiodnr.com/Watercraft. At all times, avoid low dams. www.miamiconservancy.org/recreation/boating. There are more than 60 low dams on the rivers and streams in the Great Miami River Watershed. The low dams create a pool of water upstream of the dam for recreation including boating and fishing. Low dams can be deceptively calm and incredibly dangerous. Low dams may range from a 25-foot drop-off to a mere 6-inch drop-off. Water flowing over the dam form currents that can trap objects as well as boaters. Low dam safety tips: • Know the location of all low dams and waterfalls on the river you plan to boat. • Never attempt to boat over a dam or waterfall. • Carry your boat around the low dam and launch at a safe distance, well downstream of the backwash of the low dam, which can pull you back into the dam. • Watch for a smooth line connecting the banks. This may be the top of a low dam. • Listen for splashing sounds of turbulence and the dangerous currents of dams. • Scout the river and know the location of all river hazards

Page sponsored by: The Miami Soil and Water Conservation District

– not just low dams. • Boat with experienced, responsible boaters and learn from them. • Look for concrete retaining walls, which some dams have at each ban, making the dams easier to spot. • Unless you are trained in low-dam rescues, never enter the water in an attempt to rescue someone trapped by the low dam. Immediately call for help; then, throw a line from shore to the trapped person.

When you’re not on the water but walking or riding your bike, pick up trash that you’re able to safely. For example, don’t pick up anything with sharp edges unless you have gloves. Try to use waste receptacles when you can and encourage friends and family to do the same. Secure garbage that you place outside so it doesn’t work itself free and become part of the litter you see.

See if you can find and circle the words listed. They are hidden in the puzzle vertically, horizontally, and diagonally — some are even spelled backwards.

Butler and Hamilton counties held their Clean Sweep on May 5, pulling 13.88 tons of trash out of the Great Miami River. Logan County will hold their Clean Sweep on July 28. All other sections will hold theirs either on July 20 or 21. Occurring on different dates, but indentifying itself as a collective event, it’s the Clean Sweep of the Great Miami River! However, this event is so popular that many sections have closed their canoe availability but walkers are usually needed throughout. Check out the website at: www.cleansweepofthegreatmiamiriver.org to learn what section is closest to you. To learn availability and what might be right for you within the Miami County, call Linda at Miami Soil and Water Conservation District 335-7666, ext. 230. Major sponsors of this event include Cargill, Atlantis Sportswear, Miami Conservation District, Newspapers in Education, Ohio Community Media, Scott Family McDonalds, CareSource, Cox Media Group Ohio, Dayton Daily News, Rivers Unlimited and American Rivers, plus countless local sponsors. Your safety is our number one concern. This can be a strenuous day and we have to trust that volunteers realize their own capabilities. Also, we require all volunteers to dress properly for the weather and to wear appropriate shoes that cover toes and have a thick sole. Old running shoes are ideal. If the section leader feels that your attire is not suitable, they may ask that you canoe another time. A safety talk created by ODNRDivision of Watercraft on Boating Safety will be part of the morning preparation period.

The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue Written by Bill Bailey Illustrated by Michelle Duckworth Chapter 16 Town abuzz about Donnie’s ‘powers’ STORY SO FAR: The sheriff's posse sneaks into the newspaper office, planning to kill Jake, Holly, and Donnie. But Donnie has prepared a series of scary surprises for them. Donnie makes them think that Mr. Elder, the editor they poisoned, has come back to life as a skeleton. When the posse flees from the building, they are confronted by the Jefferson City Police. Sheriff Matlock convinces Chief Charlie Banks that he and his posse were in the building to catch some thieves. Just when I was thinking there was no way Police Chief Banks would believe my word against a sheriff, a deputy, and a judge, Felix had given me some encouragement. I had been practicing for this moment, he had said. Now, it was time for me to take action. Looking down from the roof of the newspaper building, I paused to get up my nerve. Then, I pulled Mom's audio recorder out of my pocket and yelled, "Chief Banks, I've got it all on this!" Everyone stared up at me. I held the recorder up, right in front of my face. The next thing they knew, the voice of the sheriff was coming down through the air to them. "A tough old bird, are ya? Too tough for our poison, huh? Then how 'bout eatin' some of our bullets!" Even though the sound wasn't loud, they all knew what they had just heard. Judge Lulu panicked. "He recorded us!" she blurted. "But I didn't have anything to do with this, Chief. It was all the sheriff and Clint's idea to poison Mr. Elder." "You stupid idiot!" Clint hissed. "Shut up!" Realizing Chief Banks was watching him closely, Clint caught himself and smiled sheepishly. "This is just a misunderstanding, Chief," he said. "Don't act so innocent," Sheriff Matlock said, turning on Clint. "You and the Judge killed George, and you know it. I been watchin' you like a hawk, son – pretending to go along with your killing ways, so's I could get the goods on the both of ya." "You liar!" yelled Clint. "It was all your idea to begin with. And don't call me 'son' – you crooked old coot!" The posse erupted into a frenzy of namecalling and shoving before the police pulled them apart and handcuffed all three of them. "Hey guys," I yelled from the roof, getting their attention. "By the way, that wasn't a recording you just heard. It was me, throwing my voice. I'm pretty good at voices, don't you think?" In my deepest sheriff's voice, I added, "I been watchin' you like a hawk, son." I could see the sheriff backlit by the headlights, wide-eyed, stunned. "What?!" he said, apparently not believing his ears. "I didn't record you, Sheriff," I explained. "Too bad you all just ratted each other out." "You tryin' to make a fool out of me, boy?" the sheriff asked, glaring hard up at me. "No sir," I said. "You just beat me to it." I'll never forget the shellshocked look on his face, like he couldn't believe he'd been tricked by a kid. Once Chief Banks investigated deeper, the posse's accusations and finger-pointing led to more evidence against them. Eventually, they were tried in court. The jury found them guilty of Mr. Elder's murder, as well as attempted murder,

breaking and entering, and trespassing on private property. Considering the rough treatment Ol' Bag a' Bones had gotten, I thought it was too bad there weren't any laws against shooting skeletons in the back. Still, the posse was headed to prison for a long, long time. Standing at the statue the day after the posse's arrest, Jake, Mom, Humpty, and I basked in the glow of our success. Thanks to Mom and Jake's article in The Times – and the TV news crews – I was enjoying my 15 minutes of fame. The kids who had taunted me just a few days ago came by to chat. And they had girls with them – including my favorite one, Lolly. "Hi, Donnie!" Monty McGarrity and Shannon Pilant yelled. "What's up, Donnie?" added Rodger Patton. It was hard to believe that these guys were acting so buddy-buddy. Only a week ago, they had treated me like I had a contagious disease. But Jake had written a story about the "haunted" office and my "powers." And suddenly, I was popular. Lolly flashed me a smile. "Wanna join us, Donnie? We're going to The Dip to get some ice cream." I could hardly believe it, but she seemed to be flirting with me. "No thanks," I said. Then Humpty quickly added, "He may not want anything, toots. But I could sure use a butterscotch milkshake." They all laughed. "Who's paying – you or Humpty?" Lolly asked. Humpty pointed at Jake. "The guy with the big bucks," he said. "Okay, I'll pay for the shakes," Jake said. "On one condition – that Holly lets Donnie come back to work for me at The Jefferson Times." "You have to, Miss

Hutch," said Monty. "Donnie's the town hero now." Mom thought about it a second, then turned to Jake. "Okay. But I have one condition, too. You can't use my son for any more dangerous stunts." "You drive a hard bargain," Jake sighed. "But it's worth it, Holly. After all, we make a pretty good team." "A good team?" Mom asked. "You and me?" "Mom, chill," I interrupted. "He's trying to be nice." Jake reached out and held Mom's hand. Amazingly, she didn't jerk it away. "Holly, I know we started off on the wrong foot, but I'd like to know you better. Do you think I have a chance?" Mom hesitated, then said. "Well... maybe a ghost of a chance." Jake smiled. "Speaking of ghosts, is Felix on the team, too?" asked Humpty. Jake laughed. "Sure – why not?" he said, patting Felix's statue. "Please to remove ze dirty hands," said a voice. "Show ze proper respect, Monsieur." Jake jumped. Then a smile crept across his face. "Nice try, Donnie." "He's onto you now, Donnie," said Humpty. "You can't fool him any more." The puppet winked at Felix's statue.

At that moment, a sound that hadn't been heard in 130 years swept across the courthouse lawn and out over the town of Jefferson. The bells in the courthouse tower were ringing. We all turned to look at the tower. The clocks on all four sides of the tower had started ticking again, right on time. It was 5 o'clock – the time of Felix's death in 1879. Everybody who was gathered around me took off running toward the tower to get a closer look. Mom and Jake were laughing and holding hands like a couple of teenagers. I was about to follow them, when I felt someone watching me. I turned to the statue. Felix's eyes were twinkling right at me. The statue's arm swept down across his waist, and he gave a stiff bow. "Ze clock, ze bells," Felix said. "Eet ees a salute from me to you, Donnie. You used ze noodle, and you dug deep inside for ze courage," he said, tapping his head and patting his stomach." I am proud of you." Locking eyes with him, I knew this could be our last talk. I said, "Felix, you taught me a lot. You've been a great friend." I bowed back at him in salute and said, "Merci." Then Felix slowly returned to his cold, nose-in-the-air, statue pose... and I realized that my ghostly adventure was coming to an end. Or was it? As I turned to leave, I gave him one last glance. And that's when I saw it. The thin trace of a rascally smile. Then, he winked and said one last thing. "Theese, mon ami, ees only ze beginning."

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Globe and Mail, Toronto, on Afghan detainees: The Military Police Complaints Commission’s report made public last week — the latest chapter in the Afghan detainees controversy — makes an important point, one that ought to have been obvious: Canadian military police officers on foreign missions should be enabled by their superior officers to understand what is going on around them, to help them navigate the pitfalls of human-rights violations, international law and, in a word, a foreign country’s complex politics. Frustratingly, the underlying issues - the most compelling questions - of whether Afghan detainees were handed over to be tortured by some of their fellow Afghans, and whether Canadians were negligent in letting that happen, remain mysterious. In other words, it is still unknown whether Canadians were involved in war crimes. The MPCC is what it is: a commission to deal with complaints against military police.

There are still 1.3 billion people living on less than $1.25 per day, 22 percent of the total population of the world’s developing countries and regions. This is a far cry from a world free of poverty, and there is still much to be done. There is no doubt that over the past 60 years, the World Bank has played a very important role in helping developing countries fight poverty. However, to meet the challenges of the changing international economic situation, the World Bank must adapt and evolve. To support infrastructure construction, energy, agriculture, education, and other fields in developing countries has been the main work of the World Bank. But this support usually came with harsh conditions attached, which damaged its impartiality and fairness. In recent years, the collective rising of emerging countries has changed the global economic landscape. For many developing countries the biggest challenge they face is creating jobs, and they want the World Bank to increase investment in human capital. As an international financial organization whose role is to help developing countries eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development, the World Bank has a greater responsibility than ever before.

DOONESBURY

My daughter is guilty of moving violations I am expecting a letter from President Obama any day now. No, he won’t be soliciting my vote because I live in Miami County and he wrote us off a long time ago. And no, he won’t be asking for money because I’m sure if he wants to he can find out what’s in my bank account and that would hardly be worth the effort. I am expecting that he will be sending me an executive order that prohibits my daughter from ever moving again. The reason will be national security. You see, I have observed a pattern that I am sure by now also has been discovered by the FBI, CIA, NSA, NFL and every other acronym in existence. Every time my daughter moves, some kind of natural disaster strikes the country. It started out years ago when we moved her to Chicago. The move was accompanied by a stupendous heat wave. People were dropping like flies all over the city.

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist We had to carry all her stuff up four flights of stairs. You remember that hurricane a few years ago that made it all the way to Ohio and blew all kinds of things over? That was the day my daughter got married. She lived in Cincinnati and a giant tree fell on her house. Then last year when we moved her to St. Louis, it was 99 – and I’m talking humidity. The temperature was almost that high. You’d take two steps out of the car and be drenched with sweat. We lugged her stuff up three flights of stairs. But that was nothing until this year. The disasters fol-

lowed us across the country. On the day we left Troy to go to St. Louis to meet up with my daughter and her family, the “land hurricane” hit that knocked down all those trees and wires and killed power everywhere. When we got to St. Louis, it was 106 degrees. Then we packed up and headed for Denver. When we got there, just about the entire state was on fire. I shudder to think what might have happened had we gone on to California. That’s why the president is likely to sign an executive order any day now ordering my daughter, her husband and their son to stay in Denver. I’m not so sure how the people of Denver will feel about this, but it seems like it will make things safer for the rest of us. It’s not that I mind moving her all the time – well, not too much, anyway. This time, she had professional movers take all the big stuff and all we had to do was take the baby,

the plants, the cats and various other items. But she has lived in somewhere around 13 different places in the last 15 years. If you want to know where she has lived, you can get a pretty good idea by viewing a satellite image of the USA. You just follow the path of destruction and there she is. Still, I have one amendment to add to the president’s order. Denver is a long way away and now there is a grandson, too, so I think she should be allowed one more move — but only if it is back toward Ohio. I am willing to risk the possible consequences if they decide some day to move closer to home. If not, I guess my wife and I will be taking all our vacations in Colorado. And if President Obama doesn’t like that idea? Tough. I’ll just threaten to move her family to Washington, D.C. That will straighten him out.

Oscar-winning actress Holm dies at 95

FUNERAL DIRECTORY

NEW YORK (AP) — Celeste Holm, a versatile, bright-eyed blonde who soared to Broadway fame in “Oklahoma!” and won an Oscar in “Gentleman’s Agreement” but whose last years were filled with financial difficulty and estrangement from her sons, died Sunday, a relative said. She was 95. Holm had been hospitalized about two weeks ago with dehydration. She asked her husband on Friday to bring her home and spent her final days with her husband, Frank Basile, and other relatives and close friends by her side, said Amy Phillips, a greatniece of Holm’s. Holm died around 3:30 a.m. at her longtime apartment on Central Park West, located in the same building where Robert De Niro lives and where a fire broke out last month, Phillips said. “I think she wanted to be here, in her home, among her things, with people who loved her,” she said. In a career that spanned more than half a century, Holm played everyone from Ado Annie the girl who just can’t say no in “Oklahoma!” to a worldly theatrical agent in the 1991 comedy “I Hate Hamlet” to guest star turns on TV shows such as “Fantasy Island” and “Love Boat II” to Bette Davis’ best friend in “All About Eve.” She won the Academy Award in 1947 for best supporting actress for her performance in “Gentleman’s Agreement” and received Oscar nominations for “Come to the Stable” (1949) and “All About Eve” (1950). Holm was also known for her untiring charity work at one time she served on nine boards and was a board member emeritus of the National Mental Health Association. She was once president of the Creative Arts Rehabilitation Center, which treats emotionally disturbed people using arts therapies. Over the years, she raised $20,000 for UNICEF by charging 50 cents apiece for autographs. President Ronald Reagan appointed her to a six-year term on the National Council on the Arts in 1982. In New York, she was active in the Save the Theatres Committee and was once arrested during a vigorous protest against the demolition of several theaters. But late in her life she was in a bitter, multi-year family legal battle that pitted her two sons against her and her fifth husband former waiter Basile, whom she married in 2004 and was more than 45 years her junior. The court fight over investments and inheritance wiped away much of her savings and left her dependent on Social Security. The actress and her sons no longer spoke, and she was sued for overdue maintenance and legal fees on her

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST

In this March 12, 1997 file photo, actress Celeste Holm poses at a friends’ home in Santa Monica, Calif. Celeste Holm, a versatile, bright-eyed blonde who soared to Broadway fame in “Oklahoma!” and won an Oscar in “Gentlemen’s Agreement” but whose last years were filled with financial difficulty and estrangement from her sons, died Sunday. Manhattan apartment. The future Broadway star was born in New York on April 29, 1917, the daughter of Norwegianborn Theodore Holm, who worked for the American branch of Lloyd’s of London, and Jean Parke Holm, a painter and writer. She was smitten by the theater as a 3-year-old when her grandmother took her to see ballerina Anna Pavlova. “There she was, being tossed in midair, caught, no mistakes, no falls. She never knew what an impression she made,” Holm recalled years later. She attended 14 schools growing up, including the Lycee Victor Duryui in Paris when her mother was there for an exhibition of her paintings. She studied ballet for 10 years. Her first Broadway success came in 1939 in the cast of William Saroyan’s “The Time of Your Life.” But it was her creation of the role of man-crazy Ado Annie Carnes in the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s musical “Oklahoma!” in 1943 that really impressed the critics. She only auditioned for the role because of World War II, she said years later. “There was a need for entertainers in Army camps and hospitals. The only way you could do that was if you were singing in something.” Holm was hired by La Vie Parisienne, and later by the Persian Room at the Plaza Hotel to sing to their late-night supper club audiences after the “Oklahoma!” curtain fell.

The slender, blue-eyed blonde moved west to pursue a film career. “Hollywood is a good place to learn how to eat a salad without smearing your lipstick,” she would say. “Oscar Hammerstein told me, ‘You won’t like it,’” and he was right, she said. Hollywood “was just too artificial. The values are entirely different. That balmy climate is so deceptive.” She returned to New York after several years. Her well-known films included “The Tender Trap” and “High Society” but others were less memorable. “I made two movies I’ve never even seen,” she told an interviewer in 1991. She attributed her drive to do charity work to her grandparents and parents who “were always volunteers in every direction.” She said she learned first-hand the power of empathy in 1943 when she performed in a ward of mental patients and got a big smile from one man she learned later had been uncommunicative for six months. “I suddenly realized with a great sense of impact how valuable we are to each other,” she said. In 1979, she was knighted by King Olav of Norway. In her early 70s, an interviewer asked if she had ever thought of retiring. “No. What for?” she replied. “If people retired, we wouldn’t have had Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud … I think it’s very impor-

tant to hang on as long as we can.” In the 1990s, Holm and Gerald McRainey starred in the CBS’s “Promised Land,” a spinoff of “Touched by an Angel.” In 1995, she joined such stars as Tony Randall and Jerry Stiller to lobby for state funding for the arts in Albany, N.Y. Her last big screen role was as Brendan Fraser’s grandmother in the romance “Still Breathing.” Holm was married five times and is survived by two sons and three grandchildren. Her marriage in 1938 to director Ralph Nelson lasted a year but produced a son, Theodor Holm Nelson. In 1940, she married Francis Davies, an English auditor. In 1946, she married airline public relations executive A. Schuyler Dunning and they had a son, Daniel Dunning. During her fourth marriage, to actor Robert Wesley Addy, whom she married in 1966, the two appeared together on stage when they could. In the mid-1960s, when neither had a project going, they put together a two-person show called “Interplay An Evening of Theater-in-Concert” that toured the United States and was sent abroad by the State Department. Addy died in 1996. Funeral arrangements for Holm were incomplete. The family is asking that any memorial donations be made to UNICEF, Arts Horizons or The Lillian Booth Actors Home of The Actors Fund in Englewood, N.J.

• Frank Burns PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Frank Burns, who played for Rutgers and went on to become the school’s all-time winningest coach, has died. He was 84. The university announced the death on Saturday night, but provided no other details. Burns played quarterback for Rutgers from 1945-48, finishing with 30 touchdown passes. He coached the Scarlet Knights for 11 seasons from 1973-83, compiling a 78-43-1 record. “Coach Burns led our program to more victories than anyone and into national prominence,” Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti said in a release. “More importantly, he was the epitome of integrity and a true leader of men.” Burns helped Rutgers to an 11-0 record in the 1976 season and the school’s first bowl appearance in the 1978 Garden State Bowl. He guided the school to winning records in each of his first eight seasons as coach and was the second coach in school history to get Rutgers into the national rankings.

Red Cross declares Syrian conflict to be civil war DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria’s 16-month bloodbath crossed an important symbolic threshold Sunday as the international Red Cross formally declared the conflict a civil war, a status with implications for potential war crimes prosecutions. The Red Cross statement came as United Nations observers gathered new details on what happened in a village where dozens were reported killed in a regime assault. After a second visit to Tremseh on Sunday, the team said Syrian troops went door-to-door in the small farming community, checking residents’ IDs and then killing some and taking others away. According to the U.N., the attack appeared to target army defectors and activists. “Pools of blood and brain matter were observed in a number of homes,” a U.N. statement said. Syria denied U.N. claims that government forces had used heavy weapons such as tanks, artillery and helicopters during the attack Thursday. Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said the violence was not a massacre as activists and

many foreign leaders have alleged but a military operation targeting armed fighters who had taken control of the village. “What happened wasn’t an attack on civilians,” Makdissi told reporters Sunday in Damascus. He said 37 gunmen and two civilians were killed a far lower death toll than the one put forward by antiregime activists, some of whom estimated the dead at more than 100. “What has been said about the use of heavy weapons is baseless,” Makdissi added. The U.N. has implicated President Bashar Assad’s forces in the assault. The head of the U.N. observer mission said Friday that monitors stationed near Tremseh saw the army using heavy weaponry and attack helicopters. The fighting was some of the latest in the uprising against Assad, which activists say has killed more than 17,000 people. Violence continued Sunday, with more clashes reported around the capital, Damascus. The bloodshed appeared to be escalating. On Sunday, the International Comm-

ittee of the Red Cross said it now considers the Syrian conflict a civil war, meaning international humanitarian law applies throughout the country. Also known as the rules of war, humanitarian law grants all parties in a conflict the right to use appropriate force to achieve their aims. The Geneva-based group’s assessment is an important reference for determining how much and what type of force can be used, and it can form the basis for war crimes prosecutions, especially if civilians are attacked or detained enemies are abused or killed. “We are now talking about a non-international armed conflict in the country,” ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan said. War crimes prosecutions would have been possible even without the Red Cross statement. But Sunday’s pronouncement adds weight to any prosecution argument that Syria is in a state of war a prerequisite for a war crimes case. Previously, the Red Cross committee had restricted its assessment of the scope of the conflict to the hotspots of Idlib, Homs and Hama. But Hassan said the organization concluded that the violence was widening. “Hostilities have spread to other areas of the coun-

That is because the rules of war override and to some extent suspend the laws that apply in peacetime, including the universal right to life, right to free speech and right to peaceful assembly. When the Red Cross says something “it’s always very persuasive,” said Louise Doswald-Beck, a professor of international law at the Geneva Graduate Institute.

In legal terms, that means a court would be unlikely to decide differently. As an internal conflict officially becomes a civil war, the security environment shifts from regular law enforcement to a situation in which international law permits the government to attack rebel fighters, Doswald-Beck said.

“That’s why this whole business of Tremseh is interesting,” she said. Stephen M. Saideman, professor at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs in Ontario, Canada, doubted whether the Red Cross declaration would change anything significant on either side.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Insist that ‘Clyde’ stop leaving you the ‘scraps’ Dear Annie: My fiance, "Clyde," and I have been together for three years. We have a great relationship. We have lived together for two years, and my 5-year-old considers him "Dad." Clyde is divorced and has two daughters, 16 and 18. His marriage was destructive and abusive, yet he still goes to his ex-wife's house three times a week to see his 16-year-old. Clyde and I have only one day together as a family with my son. His kids want nothing to do with me, so they won't come to our place. I've missed out on several family events because his kids didn't want me there. I have asked Clyde repeatedly to stop splitting his life in two. His kids will make no effort to know me if he doesn't insist on it. They are old enough to understand that they should respect our situation even if they don't like it. And they would benefit from seeing their father in a healthy relationship. The ex-wife continues to be controlling and nasty. She constantly asks Clyde for favors and says negative things about me to him and his kids. He doesn't understand why I have a problem with this or why I feel like my son and I take a back seat to his past. I have discussed seeing a counselor, but he's resistant. I expect Clyde to be there for his kids, but why can't he cut the strings with his ex? I have been loving, understanding, supportive and patient, but I feel that he's taking advantage because it's easier to disappoint me than to stand up to his ex. I make him a priority, and in return, he gives me the scraps. — Becoming Resentful Dear Resentful: Clyde doesn't want to risk losing the affection of his daughters, which is why he is easily manipulated by them and also by their mother. But you are right that they will not respect your relationship if he doesn't insist on it. Get counseling, with or without him, and decide what your next step is. Dear Annie: For most of her adult life, my older, unmarried sister was a successful executive. Several years ago, she contentedly retired. At the age of 68, however, she is forgetting words here and there and seems a little hazy about some past events. There is no history of Alzheimer's in my family, but I am afraid she might be developing dementia. She is aware of this memory issue, and it frustrates her. She always has prided herself on her intelligence and competence. I don't want to insult her, and I'm scared to discuss this because she gets her hackles up. My parents lived into their 90s and never had these memory issues. I think she needs to see a doctor. What do you recommend? — Concerned Dear Concerned: Being unable to come up with the right word at the moment and forgetting some past events are not unusual and do not indicate dementia, but they could indicate stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, too much going on or too little mental stimulation. Here's a good gauge that we've always liked: If you forget where the keys are, it's normal. If you forget what the keys are for, it's not. Your sister is aware of the problem and is capable of seeing a doctor on her own. If you notice that her lapses are getting substantially worse or are diminishing her ability to function, then you should urge her to discuss it with a medical professional. Dear Annie: I am a 14-year breast cancer survivor and an active volunteer with the American Cancer Society. Please tell "Beside Myself in Jersey" to contact the ACS at 1-800-2272345. Her dear mother-in-law does not have to put up with a rude and abusive person to get to appointments. She can get rides from a qualified Road to Recovery driver. These services are provided at no charge to those fighting cancer. — Palmdale, Calif. Dear Palmdale: Bless you and all the others who wrote with this suggestion.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Invitations to ‘tear here’ need to be cut up Dear Heloise: I agree with Donna in Nebraska, who asked in a Sound Off why companies have items that say “tear here” when it never works. I always carry a little pair of child’s scissors in my purse. They are sold cheaply at drugstores, etc., and frequently come in handy. — Peggy, via email I agree, too! Most don’t “tear easily,” and it’s frustrating! — Heloise SOUND OFF Dear Heloise: Like many other people, we bought a new mattress that is far thicker than our old mattress. I am tired of fitted sheets popping off and would like to replace them, but I

Hints from Heloise Columnist cannot find a store that sells bottom sheets individually. We have perfectly good top sheets and pillowcases, so buying whole new sets is unnecessary and wasteful. But even online, I cannot find a source that sells bottom sheets only. — Jean B. in Michigan You are not alone! With many

people buying the new deeper mattresses, the old bottom sheets do not stay on. If you cannot find any online, try an outlet store. You can find a cheaper set that coordinates, and you can just rotate the top sheet and shams with it. — Heloise SILK FLOWERS Dear Heloise: I want to use red silk flowers to decorate a headstone, but I’m being told that they will run when they get wet and stain the headstone. Is there any way to set the color so they don’t run? — Denise, via email Denise, unfortunately there isn’t anything you can do to set the dye. Your best bet is to check

for colorfastness before putting the flowers on the headstone. Fill your sink or a bucket with water. Take a petal and submerge it. You will be able to see if the color is running. You might be better off with plastic or nonsilk artificial flowers. Another thing to consider is checking with the cemetery to see if it has any regulations regarding what can and cannot be placed on headstones. Some only allow plastic vases, etc. Be careful when placing things of importance, as they often can get lost due to weather and cemetery maintenance. — Heloise

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, July 17, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Definitely avoid arguments with authority figures, because these easily can erupt today. And if they do, they will escalate into something nasty very quickly. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be patient with co-workers, especially if you are trying to introduce improvements and reforms where you work. Others will not be receptive. Tread lightly. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romantic partners might be at odds with each other today. This is a challenging day for parents when dealing with their children, because temper tantrums and meltdowns are likely. Be patient. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Minor appliances might break down at home today, and similarly, family relationships can break down. Don’t push your agenda with others. Take it easy. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Battles with siblings, neighbors and relatives might take place today, because people are pushy and relentless. Who needs this? Run away! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) When it comes to financial matters or discussions about earnings and cash flow, if you are too pushy, you will lose everything. Wait until you see an opening. Or wait until Thursday. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You can use today’s energy to creatively transform the world around you. Or you can have fierce power struggles with others. Which is it going to be? (That’s a no-brainer.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might be doing a slow boil because you feel angry, but you also feel that you cannot speak up. This is always frustrating. But you probably are right. Hang in there. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Squabbles with others are likely today, because people are at odds with each other. You might find yourself in confrontation with a member of a group. Be cool. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do not clash with authority figures today — this means parents, teachers, bosses, VIPs and the police. People are rigid, intense and unforgiving. You will only increase opposition to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because discussions could escalate into a fierce argument in a New York minute. Just take it easy. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is not a good day to discuss how to share things or address inheritances or divide jointly held property. Postpone this kind of discussion until Thursday. YOU BORN TODAY You might appear shy, quiet or reticent, but underneath this cover is a huge ambition to succeed. You also have a marvelous sense of humor. Freedom and independence are important to you. Your self-confidence allows you to be very patient in waiting for what you want. In the year ahead, partnerships will be extremely important and will teach you much about your style of relating.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, July 16, the 198th day of 2012. There are 168 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 16, 1862, Flag Officer David G. Farragut became the first rear admiral in the United States Navy. On this date: • In 1935, the first parking meters were installed in Oklahoma City. • In 1945, the United States exploded its first experimental atomic bomb in the desert of Alamogordo, N.M.

• In 1951, the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger was first published by Little, Brown and Co. • In 1969, Apollo 11 blasted off from Cape Kennedy on the first manned mission to the surface of the moon. • In 1981, singer Harry Chapin was killed when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer on New York’s Long Island Expressway. • In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, died when their single-engine plane, piloted by

Kennedy, plunged into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. • Ten years ago: The Irish Republican Army issued an unprecedented apology for hundreds of civilian deaths over 30 years. • Today’s Birthdays: Violinist Pinchas Zukerman is 64. Actorsinger Ruben Blades is 64. Actress Phoebe Cates is 49. Actor-comedian Will Ferrell is 45. Actor Jonathan Adams is 45. Actress Rain Pryor is 43. Actor Corey Feldman is 41.

Space workers struggle a year after last shuttle TITUSVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A year after NASA ended the three-decade-long U.S. space shuttle program, thousands of formerly wellpaid engineers and other around the workers Kennedy Space Center are still struggling to find jobs to replace the careers that flourished when shuttles blasted off from the Florida

“Space Coast.” Some have headed to South Carolina to build airplanes in that state’s growing industry, and others have moved as far as Afghanistan to work as government contractors. Some found lower-paying jobs beneath their technical skills that allowed them to stay. Many are still looking

for work and cutting back on things like driving and utilities to save money. “Nobody wants to hire the old guy,” said Terry White, a 62-year-old former manager who project worked 33 years for the shuttle program until he was laid off after Atlantis landed last July 21. “There just isn’t a lot of work

HEAR... What you Have Been Missing!

around here. Or if so, the wages are really small.” White earned more than $100,000 a year at the end of his career at the space center. The prospects of finding a job that pay anywhere near that along the Space Coast are slim. “I could take an $11-anhour job that is 40 miles away,” he said “But with gas prices and all that, it’s not really worthwhile.” More than 7,400 people, who once had labored on one of history’s most complicated engineering achievements, lost their jobs when the shuttle program ended last July. While other shuttle workers in Houston, New Orleans and Huntsville, Ala., lost jobs, those areas had bigger economies to absorb the workers. In less economically diverse Brevard County, the mainly contractor positions cut by NASA accounted for just under 5 percent of the county’s private sec-

tors jobs. The Kennedy Space Center’s current workforce of 8,500 workers is the smallest in more in than 35 years. In the middle of the last decade, the space center employed around 15,000 workers. James Peek, a 48-yearold quality inspector for the shuttles, has applied for 50 positions with no success since he was laid off in October 2010. He has taken odd jobs glazing windows for a luxury hotel in Orlando and working as a security guard. He has no health insurance and incurred a $13,000 bill when he was hospitalized for three days last May. “With most companies, it’s like your application goes into a black hole,” Peek said. “We’re struggling to stay afloat.” Jobless space workers have signed up for Brevard Workforce’s job placement and training services.

Slightly more than half of the 5,700 workers the agency has been able to track have found jobs, but more than a quarter of those positions were outside Florida. Those jobs have been in the fields of engineering, mechanics and security, according to the agency. Brevard County’s unemployment rate spiked in the months that the shuttle program wound down, going from 10.6 percent in April 2011 to 11.7 percent in August 2011. It has since declined to 9 percent, a result of a smaller workforce as many former shuttle workers either moved away or retired earlier than planned. Brevard County has added 2,700 jobs since the beginning of the year, but many are in the southern part of the 72-mile-long county where information technology giant Harris Corp. and airplane-maker Embraer are located.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — The best car was rolling toward victory until its driver and crew chief couldn’t agree on how many tires to change. Kasey Kahne capitalized on that confusion between Denny Hamlin behind the wheel and Darian Grubb in the pits to win his second Sprint Cup race of the year and make a leap toward one of the 12 spots in the Chase that determines this year’s NASCAR champion. “For those guys to miscommunicate, that helped us a ton,” Kahne said. “I’ll take ‘em any way we can.” Hamlin’s Toyota led for 150 of the 300 laps at the one-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. His communication wasn’t quite as good. Kahne, who finished second two weeks ago at Kentucky to Brad Keselowski, went ahead to stay during a restart on the 240th lap when Hamlin spent extra time in the pits as his crew changed all four tires.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Scott Rolen hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning Sunday night, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-2 victory and three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds’ sixth straight win matched their best surge of the season, moved them a seasonhigh 12 games over .500, and jumped them a game ahead of Pittsburgh for the NL Central lead. St. Louis fell 4 games back. Rolen’s two-out single off Mitchell Boggs snapped a 2-all tie and provided a satisfying moment for the 37-year-old third baseman, limited all season by a bad shoulder and back. Jake Westbrook (7-8) set up the

winning rally with a walk, a wild pitch and a hit batter. Homer Bailey (8-6) went eight innings during a fill-in start for Johnny Cueto, sidelined by a blister. With the 39,280 fans on their feet chanting “sweep,” Aroldis Chapman fanned the side in the ninth for his 13th save in 17 chances. The hard-throwing lefthander pitched in all three games of the series only the second time he’s gone three days in a row during his career. The other time was in 2010, when he helped the Reds on their push to the NL Central title. Bailey was scheduled to start next Tuesday, but got pushed up two days after Cueto developed

a blister on the index finger of his pitching hand during a bullpen throwing session. It was a break for the Cardinals Cueto leads the Reds with 10 wins and is third in the NL with a 2.39 ERA. Joey Votto singled and had an RBI double, his first hits of the series. Votto hasn’t gone more than two games without a hit this season. Yadier Molina had a single, a run-scoring double and his second homer of the series, getting loudly booed as he rounded the bases in the sixth after tying it at 2. Molina has been booed during every at-bat since his fight with Brandon Phillips in 2010 at Great American Ball Park.

O’Brien is PSU’s ‘rock’ through trials STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — In seven months on the job, Bill O’Brien has turned into much more than just the new leader of the Penn State Nittany Lions. Perhaps no head coach has ever inherited such a challenge in his rookie campaign. “He’s kind of our rock. He sets the tone for the rest of us,” guard John Urschel. “He sets a very good precedent for this program.” Lately, any good news out of the football program has been overshadowed by the findings of former FBI director Louis Freeh’s investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Former coach Joe Paterno and three other school officials, Freeh said last week, concealed abuse allegations dating back to 1998. O’Brien, hired in early January, released a statement through a team spokesman last week that said he was reading the report and

with purchase of $25.00 or more

would offer recommendations to identify what changes needed to be made in football. “I stand with the University leadership in a shared commitment to driving a culture of honesty, integrity, responsible leadership and accountability at all levels and within all units of our institution. We can and we must do better,” O’Brien said. “Nonetheless, I too remain proud of the accomplishments and character of Penn State’s many generations of student-athletes, and I look forward to doing my part to ensure we emerge stronger than before.” His words were on par with the theme he’s tried to strike since he was hired in January, when he promised to honor the past but focus on the future. He said at nearly every stop during his threeweek caravan of alumni gatherings this spring that he planned to

build on Paterno’s decades of onand off-field accomplishments. “Whenever I meet lettermen, and the effect he had on their lives, I can only hope to fulfill just a small part of that in my career,” O’Brien said in Altoona in May. “We have a tremendous amount of respect for what coach Paterno did here. … I can tell you that we will keep his honor, what he stood for and everything he built here. In many, many ways, we’ll keep it going because we have so much respect for what he did here.” O’Brien made those comments two months before Freeh released his stinging findings. On vacation, O’Brien could not be reached for further comment beyond his statement. The NCAA has also launched its own inquiry. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said he planned to respond to questions from NCAA President Mark

Emmert in the next few weeks, answers which could determine if college sports’ governing body conducts a more in-depth probe that might lead to sanctions. School trustees ousted Paterno in November, days after Sandusky was arrested. The board later cited in part a failure of leadership by Paterno for his ouster. Paterno died in January of lung cancer. His family has said the late coach wouldn’t take part in a cover up to avoid bad publicity, and planned a comprehensive response to Freeh’s findings. Through the stormy period, O’Brien has promised the program would not forget the victims of abuse, while also trying to keep the Nittany Lions looking forward. One of the new team rules posted on the front door of the football building includes the phrase “Ignore the Noise,” referring to trying to limit outside distractions.

Knicks’ Kidd arrested NEW YORK (AP) Newly signed New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd has been arrested on a drunken-driving charge after police said he crashed an SUV into a telephone pole in the Hamptons. Southampton Town police say Kidd was released without bail after being arraigned Sunday on a misdemeanor driving-whileintoxicated charge. Police say Kidd was treated at Southampton Hospital for minor injuries after his arrest. His agent hasn’t immediately answered phone or email messages. Police say Kidd was alone in the Cadillac Escalade when it hit a pole and veered into the woods around 2 a.m. Sunday in the hamlet of Water Mill. The Knicks signed the 39-year-old Kidd in free agency this week. He’d played for the Dallas Mavericks since 2008. He’d led the New Jersey Nets to two NBA Finals appearances.

NASCAR ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Hamlin wanted just two new ones. “Darian asked me how much of the tires I felt I’d used up. I felt like I had used up a substantial amount,” he said. “(I said) give me tires and no adjustments. He thought I meant four tires. Nothing’s a given. Even though it looked like we had one in the bag if we took two tires, you never know.” Kahne doesn’t feel he stole a victory. “I wouldn’t say ‘stolen.’ We ran in the top four the whole race,” he said. “We were in pretty good shape, (but) if he was to keep the track position I never would have passed him.” Hamlin’s longer pit stop left him all the way back in 13th place, but he kept passing cars until only Kahne remained in front. Then he simply ran out of miles and Kahne won by 2.738 seconds. It was the 14th win of Kahne’s career and first since May 27 at Charlotte. Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Keselowski rounded out the top five. The victory enhanced Kahne’s chances of qualifying for the Chase, the last 10 races of the season in which the top 10 drivers in the point standings win automatic berths. Two additional spots go to the drivers with the most wins who are ranked 11th to 20th in points. Kahne went from 16th to 12th, and his two wins are more than anyone in the second group of 10. “We’ve been pretty tough all year, but we just haven’t finished ‘em off a lot of the times,” Kahne said. “From here on out, we need some more top 10s and top fives the rest of the way. It doesn’t get us in the Chase yet, but it does help with a win today.” The turning point came when the third caution flag came out on the 234th lap for oil dropped on the track by David Reutimann. Hamlin went into the pit, telling Grubb over the radio that he wanted tires. Grubb, who first planned to change just two, interpreted that to mean four. As Hamlin went back on the track, Grubb told him, “My bad, bud.” After the race, Grubb took the blame: “That was 100 percent my fault.”

Troy Skate Club Summer Competition concludes with a bang

TORONTO (AP) — No matter what he tries, Cleveland’s Derek Lowe can’t seem to find success when pitching away from home. Carlos Villanueva struck out a career-best eight in six scoreless innings, Jose Bautista had two hits and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Lowe and the Indians 3-0 Sunday. Lowe came in 0-4 with an 8.88 ERA in his past five road starts and, despite pitching better, was unable to snap his losing streak. The right-hander allowed three runs and three hits in six innings, walked four and struck out five. Struggling with his delivery, Lowe acknowledged that he “invented a lot of stuff” over his final three innings. “I asked guys on the

and losses are the only thing that matters,” he said. “I don’t take any satisfaction from losing 1-0 and I wouldn’t tuck my tail if I won 10-9.” Lowe retired the first six Blue Jays batters in order, but struggled as Toronto batted around in a three-run third. Kelly Johnson led off with a walk, stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Carlos Santana before scoring on J.P. Arencibia’s one-out single. Arencibia advanced on Brett Lawrie’s groundout and scored on a base hit by Colby Rasmus. Jose Bautista singled Rasmus to third and stole second before Edwin Encarnacion walked to load the bases. Adam Lind capped the rally with a walk, scoring Rasmus.

FOIX, France (AP) — Crashes, falls, fractures Bradley Wiggins has seen it all. Now add tacks and nails to list. Still, nothing can break his stranglehold on the Tour de France. On a day of sabotage in the Pyrenees, Wiggins had luck on his side. He avoided the chaos and spent another trouble-free stage as his Sky team controlled his main rivals to protect his yellow jersey. At least 30 riders were disrupted by tire punctures at the top of the final climb after tacks and small nails were tossed on the road. Tour officials asked police to investigate. Defending champion Cadel Evans was caught in the havoc. He had to wait three times for assistance. He lost nearly two minutes at one point before teammates arrived and gave the former world champion a rear wheel. But Wiggins honored cycling etiquette by not attempting to capitalize on Evans’ misfortune. He urged the peloton to slow down to allow Evans to return to the pack. Wiggins and Evans finished in the same time 18 minutes, 15 seconds behind Luis Leon Sanchez of Spain, who won the 119mile, 14th stage between Limoux and Foix. This was the first day of racing in the Pyrenees, and Wiggins kept his overall lead of 2:05 over Sky teammate Christopher Froome. Vincenzo Nibali of Italy is third, 2:23 off the pace while Evans remains fourth, 3:19 behind. After crashing out of the race with a broken collarbone last year, Wiggins has been enjoying the per-

bench for advice,” he said. “I changed mechanically probably 50 times, just trying to find anything. The ball wasn’t coming out too good so it was just try to invent stuff to keep yourself in the game.” Lowe (8-7) dropped to 2-6 in his past 10 outings overall and has not won consecutive starts since May 10 and 15, when he picked up back-to-back road wins at Boston and Minnesota. “(Lowe) pitched well, there’s nothing to complain about,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “He gave us six solid innings, we just couldn’t do anything offensively.” His manager may have been pleased, but Lowe found little to be satisfied with. “I’m far enough along in my career that wins

With only two big mountain stages remaining before the race ends in Paris next Sunday, and a long time trial where Wiggins is expected to blow his rivals apart, the former Olympic track champion looks all but guaranteed to become the first Brit to win the Tour. Yet, he is well aware of the dangers that can arise anywhere. “What can you do? It’s something we can’t control,” Wiggins said, referring to the sabotage that could have led to a reshuffle of the standings. “There’s nothing stopping more of that sort of stuff happening. It’s sad. Those are the type of things we have to put up with as cyclists. I think people take that for granted sometimes, just how close they can get to us. If

that happened in a football stadium, or wherever, you’d be arrested.” From time to time, stray dogs or photographsnapping fans get hit by speeding riders. On Friday, Wiggins was hit on the arm and received minor burns from a flare waved by a spectator. Three years ago, Oscar Freire and Julien Dean were hit by pellets from an air rifle. “We’re out there, quite vulnerable at times, very close to the public on climbs,” Wiggins said. “We’re just the riders at the end of the day and we’re there to be shot at, literally.” Speaking on French TV, race director JeanFrancois Pescheux commended Sky for encouraging the pack to not speed ahead. He said the search for the culprit would be difficult because thousands of fans were on the edge of the road.
